<arbitrary>I had a weird dream that I was amazingly good friends with an unlikely person... we were getting along and having fun when suddenly they said, "None of this is real. You're going to wake up and all this will never have been. Time is running out." To which I started dream-sensing my own brain activity and feeling each pulse of thought leading closer to the moment I would wake up.

I was upset. Our friendship, all the good times we shared together, the chemistry that we had with each other! Would not only be gone in a few moments of time, but was never even real to begin with. I held fast my consciousness to my dream as much as I was able, to keep alive those sweet, fabricated memories of being true friends. Until the time when my grasp began to slip and I inevitably faded back into reality, into a world where we never even knew each other.</arbitrary>

Have I ever mentioned my sleeping brain is not only very much self-aware but also a jerk

Such a beautiful pixel drawing, and really interesting dream!Our minds CAN be total jerks to us in our dreams ;n; but it's often for a reason.Your dream was probably warning you to cherish the friendships you have, and the ones you can potentially have, because friendships are as long or as short as we want them to be... so, make the most of your time with your friends. c: Maybe- I just wanted to leave my thoughts too because I love how dreams work sometimes. Especially when they throw us curveballs.

And hey, there IS some reality to dreams- you were communicating with that person's spirit. So it's not unlikely that you two DO know each other in a sense

Thank you! I'm pretty sure that never made it through to them... Though rather than necessarily cherishing what I have, I'm probably just remembering what used to be and how it's so fragile anyway My dreams are usually about zombies though!!
